Arslan: The Warriors of Legend (Sony PlayStation 4, 2016)

Product Specs

Description

Omega Force applies its hack-and-slash formula to a popular Japanese manga as players help a prince regain his throne in Arslan: The Warriors of Legend. Gamers assume the role of the titular prince as he comes of age while attempting to form an army and fight against seemingly insurmountable odds. Arslan features cel-shaded graphics and the original voice cast to maintain the feel of the animé series, and while the massive battles featuring hundreds of enemy combatants should be familiar to fans of the franchise, The Warriors of Legend introduces a number of new combat mechanics. The new Mardan Rush feature lets players take out hordes of enemies at once by assuming control of cavalry, archer, and infantry rush units. Gamers can use a number of weapons infused with special Weapon Arts to create more powerful effects, each weapon has a customizable action flow, and players can use the Chain Strike action to switch between weapons during an attack to create massive combos. The Free mode includes a cooking mechanic that provides characters with a temporary boost to their skills, gamers can equip more than 200 different cards to customize abilities, and the game offers a handful of extra scenarios outside of the main Story mode.
